Should you lead like a lion—bold, directive, pushing your team toward results?

Or should you lead like a lamb—gentle, collaborative, pulling your team through coaching, brainstorming, and consensus?

We often get caught in this either-or debate. But a fascinating study by leadership experts Jack Zenger and Joseph Folkman suggests the most effective leaders aren’t choosing sides—they’re doing both.

🧪 In their research, they measured two key outcomes:

Employee satisfaction in the workplace

Confidence that the organization would meet its strategic goals

Here’s what they found:

Low Push + Low Pull = Low satisfaction, low confidence
High Push + Low Pull = Low satisfaction, high confidence
Low Push + High Pull = High satisfaction, low confidence
High Push + High Pull = High satisfaction AND high confidence

The takeaway? The best leaders are both lions and lambs. They know when to push—set direction, create urgency, and keep the team aligned—and when to pull—coach, include, and empower.

🧭 Use more pull in the early stages of a project when ideas and ownership are key.
💥 Use push when timelines are tight and decisions must be executed swiftly.

Your team doesn’t just want empathy and support—they also want leadership, clarity, and direction.

The world needs leaders who can do both.

So… what’s your leadership blend?

Why do we have repeated encounters with toxic/narcissistic people in some areas of our life, but not others? For example:

▪️ Someone may have narcissistic partners, but not toxic colleagues at work.
▪️ Another may repeatedly encounter toxic narcissists in their business networks, but not in their immediate family.
▪️ Yet another may encounter parents and friends with narcissistic traits, while their partner and work colleagues are amazing.
▪️ And some may encounter them in every area of life.

Why does this happen?

What is the deeper karmic lesson here?

How does one navigate life with confidence in these dynamics?

And what can you do so you are forever released from toxic/narcissistic patterns?

Now lets look at the Pandavas for a bit

▪️Their cousins and uncle were toxic. Duryodhana was narcissim personified. So much so that many attempts were made by him to delete the Pandavas.

▪️However they had good relationships amongst each other, with their mother, partners and the various connections they made across India that eventually helped them in the great war.

Happens to everyone. They didn't lose heart or their confidence and stayed focused on their immediate and long terms goals.

Join me for the Masterclass on July 1st to learn how to do that. I look forward to seeing you there. Details in the comments and above.
